more property checks then. Officer Bolander will be at neighborhood Watch meeting, January 23rd.

Jerry Becker: County Emergency Manager and online Security Director. Offers a sky warn course on April 19th at 10 a.m at Transit Building, to learn how to spot storms and tornadoes. Outdoor Weather Warning Siren, out of commission since Sept.24th since FCC last year mandated that all radio systems go from 25 megahertz to 12.5 megahertz which puts all the sirens out of service. Grants were applied for but were denied and then the Weather Station got hit by the storm and it went out. The siren would cost about 00 to fix; the weather station would cost 50 to fix. Jerry asked Hayes Township Board for money to maintain the both systems. The Township can only move to fix these if the Township owns it. Becker to prepare the paper work for the Township to own tower. Maye Rood to look at Par Plan Grant and see if we can get up to 00 for the repairs.
